Clever Monkeys.
Youths Com panion.

It, is odd that mankind has not moro generally attempted to utilize the cleverness and initiative faculty of the monkey. Perhaps, however, this little four handed creature is too mis- chievous to be trusted very exten- siEely.
 IA woman in Toulouse one day locked up her money in desk, and went out shopping. On her return sfie missed considerable sum, but there was no trace of a burglary. Very much bewildered, the woman was deep in reflection over the matter when she heard roar of laughter from her neighbours garden.
 "Oh, the thief" cried several per sons. "Where has he stole it?"
 The dame instantly run out, say ing, "Oh, my money, messieurs Where is the thief"
 "He is up tree, madame," pointing to monkey on high branch above them, "but here is the money"
 The monkey had been seen to climb into one of the lady's windows, had unlocked drawer, found the money, and concealing it in his cheek, brought it to his master.
 No less authority than Butfon de- clares that female chimpanzee, who went out to service at Loango, made the beds, swept the house, and so far assisted in the cooking as to turn the spit.
 A naval officer tells of another chimpanzee, on board of French man. ot- war, who assists the cook, turns the capstan, and furls sail as well as any of the sailors.
 In China monkeys help in the tea picking, and Lord Monboddo used gravely to contend that apes could talk readily enough, but that their sI = perior cunning told them to hold their tongues, lest they should be put to hard work.

A VALUABLE ENEMY.
Old Hall Had an Interest in Defending
Man He Had Whipped
From the American Magazine.

From the ADleT1cdn Magazine.
Not many years ago a Kentucky horse driver
found himself in a small town in Lumpkin
county, Georgia. Having disposed of his stock
he celebrated the fact by going on a spree and
bantering nearly every man who would have
anything to do with him for fight. He aspired
to run the town." and, being..a huge, muscular
fellow, seemed likely to succeed
No one wanted to accommodate him, though
several intimated that if nothing but a fight
would do ''Old HALF would be in town that al
ternoon and, as he was never known to refuse a
banter, would doubtless respond to the driver S
DugiilStic desires.
Said one man "Old Hall He'll fight any
thing, from a circular saw to blind preacher. -
Another remarked: why, Old Hall! He'd
raythur fight than wear his clothes"
Our driver avowed that If Old Hall didn't
show up he would have him run down with dogs
rather than lose the chance of whipping him. In
the afternoon, sure enough, Old Hail appeared,
and was pointed out to the staggering Ken
tuckian as ne stood at the bar of the principal
saloon, taken patch OF Georgy red-eye," as
he phrased il
Old Hall was small, lean and vicious looking.
The large driver gazed down on him for a mo
ment and remarked:
Eff that's yore bully I'll jest unbully him fer
ye in about ten seconds.
Then, walking up, he slapped Old Hall on the
shoulder, saying:
''ES yore name Hall:n
Old Hall-the impersonation of terrier-hke
pugnacity up at him and replied:
Yes my names Hall"
We'll, you We got ter fight Eff yore names
Hail I'll jest change hit to Bawl afore we know
whar We air"
You're liarr' was Old Halls prompt re-
spouse, and at it they went without further par
ley.
To the surprise of every one Hall, after a Sc
we're tussle, whipped the driver, who seemed
much cast down and thoroughly cowed. Then
the numerous men whom the latter had ban
tered bristled up and wanted also to whip the
bully. They found an unexpected obstacle in
Hall, who interposed follows:
The fust man that teches this Teller has got
ter jump ON the two on U.S. I've fout all over
old Lumpllin, n Berrien n Loundes kyounties
fer moren twenty year, N thish yere is the fust
friend. He's done fer me what no other man
has ever d )ne, n eff we think I'm goin' ter
stand by n see my reppertachun ruint by lettin'
him git whipped by every little flee dog in the
settlement es wants ter bounce him, We don't
know Old Hall"
The driver was not further molested

A New Kind of Insurance.

There are several different kinds of in
surance but there seems to be room for
others. There are few who are not familiar
with fire and life insurance The ubiquitous
and voluble solicitors of the latter kind have
carried knowledge of it to the remotest
corners of civilization. Accident insurance
is not so well known but it is growing in
popularity. "a man somehow CT other feels
better satisfied with an accident policy than
without ones Probably the thought that if
he should be killed somebody would be
benefited by his death is a rather gratifying
one. The guarantee companies are gradu-
ally growing in favor. They are particu-
larly appreciated by those who, having ac-
cumulated little property, are expected to
be always ready to become the bondsmen OF
those who handle other peoples money
When a man seeks q bondsman nova. days
he is politely referred to guarantee COM
pany which will insure his honesty to a GER
tain amount for a consideration.
- Another sort of insurance is now before
the public for favor. A company proposes
to insure employers against suits for dam
ages by their employees who have been in
hardly seem as if a company of this kind
would do very much business. However,
it is impossible nowadays to say what fields
will yield financial harvests until they are
cultivated.
There is one other kind of insurance that is
needed. 1t is that which will insure railroads
against losses from suits instituted by persons
injured, or claiming to be injured, on their
lines. The railroads would be glad, doubt
less, to pay so much a year to get rid of the
annoyance and expense of these suits. They
would like nothing better than to have all
the accident suits defended by Great Rail
road Guarantee Company. Possibly such
company would have to pay less in damages
in the course Of year than the railroads
do, as it would fight harder to save its
cash, and would not have so much preju-
dice to contend with. Some of the heav-
lest yerdicts against railroads are based
upon the idea that the roads are rich and
able to pay, rather than upon the justice of
the claims.

The Crowded Jail.

Is it not a mistake to have both Superior
and the City Court closed at the same timei
When the Superior Court is closed the City
Court ought certainly to be in session for at
least day or two each week. 1t is said
that every cell at the Jail now contains at
least two prisoners. Some of them contain
three. If the court does not open until No
vember, the Sheriff will have some difficulty
in meeting the demand for Jail room.
The crowded condition of the Jail in
creases the chances for sickness there. Try
as hard as he may, the jailer cannot keep
the Jail, crowded as it is, in as good sanitary
condition as If it contained only such num-
Der of inmates as could be provided with
ample accommodations,
But there are two other strong reasons
why both the Superior and City Courts
should not be closed for long.season at the
same time. One is that prisoners are en-
titled to a speedy trial Some of those who
are not able to furnish bail may be limo
cent, and it is great hardship to be forced
to remain in a crowded jail for several
months in hot weather. In fact, it is a hard
ship for those who are guilty of the charges
would much rather be serving their SEN
fences than waiting for their TRIALS.
The other reason is that the county is put
to a very heavy expense in feeding prison
ers 1t would be interesting to know ex-
actly what additional expense will be inn
posed upon the county by the closing of
the courts for two or three months. The
sum doubtless win be quite large.
OF course the judges are entitled to a va
cation, but their vacations might be so ar
ranged that one judge would be in the city
when the other is away. Even the Ordinary,
if we are not misinformed, is out of the city
at the present time, and if the necessity for
writ of habeas corpus should arise there
would be no one in the county who could
grant it. A judge would have to be hunted
up outside of the county.

Two NuiSanceS.

In another column will be found a COM
munication from well known citizen who
calls attention TO two things which have
bad effect upon the health Of the city. They
are the loud-smelling and disease-breedIng
vaults to which the MORNING News has
called attention more than once, and the
pumps upon which very considerable
number of people depend for water.
There are two objections to the vaults.
One is that on account of the odors which
emanate from them there is no pleasure in
living in the neighborhoods in which they
are located, and the other is that they cause
sickness The reasons for their removal
being so strong it would seem as if an en-
ergetic effort would be made to get rid of
them at once. They are nuisances, and
there is always legal way to abate a nuis-
ance. 1t is much more important that these
vaults should be removed than that some
of the other things, to which the city au-
thorities give their attention, should be
done
1t win hardly be denied that the water
obtained from the pumps in different parts
of the city is impure That being the case
used, however, as long as the pumps remain,
Let them be removed at the earliest possible
moment, and the wells closed 1t may be
said that all who use pump water do so with
the full understanding of its character, and
that those who are harmed by it have only
themselves to blame. This is not the right
view to take of the matter. The city pumps
are public institutions, and if the authori-
ties know them to be dangerous to the public
health they ought to have them removed at
the public expense, and without unneces-
airy delay.
1t might be advisable to sink few ar
tesian wells in the public squares and princi-
pal streets, not only to accommodate those
of the poor people who are not able to take
water from the city, but also to supply the
city with water if any accident should
happen to the water works which would
cut off the water supply from that source
If the city authorities will give to these sug-
gestions the attention they deserve, they
will strengthen their popularity with very
considerable portion of their constituents.
